IPC: C01C1/247
Filed: 1911-04-28
Granted: 1912-05-28
Abstract: 16,629. Collett, E., and Eckardt, M. April 28. Drawings to Specification. Ammonium sulphate and sulphite. - Ammonium sulphate and sulphite are obtained by causing ammonia to react with sulphurous acid and oxygen or air in the presence of water. A stable sulphite of the formula (NH4)3 H(SO3)2, which has a neutral reaction, is stated to be produced. The solution is oxidized to sulphate by treatment with air, on the counter-current principle, while continuing to add ammonia to take up the sulphurous acid liberated by the oxidation of the above-mentioned sulphite. The oxidation may be effected in a series of towers, the liquid being kept warm, especially in the last tower. The sulphurous acid used may be dilute, such as that obtained in 'smelting sulphide ores.

Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 7837. Werner, H. Sept. 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Turning.-A changespeed gear for a latheheadstock consists of a four-step pulley having at one end internal projections m adapted to gear with a sliding gearwheel k for direct drive, and at its other end gear-wheels d, a adapted to be alternately engaged by sliding gears b, c, the gear c being of the same size as the gear d. The sliding gears b, care splined to a sleeve which carries a gear e adapted to gear with a wheel f on a sliding countershaft o, another wheel g on the countershaft g e a r i n g with a wheel h splined to a shaft which carries a gear-wheel i, adapted to gear with the wheel k, and a sliding clutch p. Direct drive is effected by sliding the wheel k into gear with the projections m; the first change by e ngaging the wheel k with the wheel i, the wheel d with the wheel c, and the wheel p with the wheel e; the second change by shifting the wheel b to gear with the wheel a, the wheels f, g being slid out of gear; the third change by gearing the wheels d, c, e, f, g, and h and disengaging the clutch; and the fourth change by gearing the wheel b with the wheel a. In a modification for use in large machines, the main spur-wheel k is made to assume three different positions, the third position being free, right inside the step pulley, the drive then being given through pinions n, q and a ring r on the face-plate. Eight more speeds are thus obtained, a locking - device being used to ensure safety. Friction or claw clutches may be used between the spur-wheel and the cone pulley instead of toothed segments.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Crimping or Corrugating the Ends of Tubular Textile Fabrics, for example, the Heads of Mantles for Incandescent Gas Lighting, and for Drawing a Binding or Shirring Thread into the Crimped or Corrugated Part.
Inventor: COHN SAMUEL
IPC: F21H3/00
Filed: 1912-04-09
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 8429. Cohn, S. April 9. [Addition to 25,588/06.] Incandescent - lampmantle sewing-machines. -In a machine of the type described in the parent Specification, the shirring - mechanism is arranged to force the pleated fabric over stationary needles, and the shirring-mechanism may be withdrawn from the fabric before the sewing operation. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the needles 35 are mounted in a block 36 which is yieldingly mounted on the frame 40. The shirring - mechanism comprises a central member 17 over which the mantle is drawn, this member having vertical bars 23 arranged to mesh with the bars of rotary members 32 on each side. The member 17 is mounted on a slide 12, which is reciprocated by a handle 6 on a rockshaft 3 through the gearing 7, 8 and link 10. The rotary members 32 are driven by rack teeth 24 on the slide 12. In operation, the mantle is pleated and forced upon the needles 35 as the slide 12 moves to the right. Towards the end of the forward stroke, the slide contacts with the needleblock 36 and moves it against the springs 39 so as to take the eyes of the needles clear of the rotary members 32 and into the path of a threading device 42, Fig. 4. The hub 41 of the arm 42 is losely mounted on the rock shaft 3 and is operated at the proper time by a pin 44 working in a slot 43 in the hub. A retracting-spring 47 pulls the threader back on the return movement of the rock-shaft. A hook or eye 49 passes through the eyes of the needles 35. and is threaded with a length of shirring-string 50. The shaft 3 is now rocked backwards, and the mantle is drawn off the needles by the pleating-mechanism, the thread being in place in the pleats. The thread is tied by hand. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, the shirring- mechanism is withdrawn from the mantle before the sewing operation takes place. The pleated fabric is compressed, thus allowing shorter or better-supported needles to be used. The inner member consists of fingers 57 supported at their lower ends by a bar 62 up to the point where the fabric passes upon the needles. At this point in the stroke, a bar 64 forces the fingers downwards out of the fabric. A block 78 on the slide compresses the pleated fabric against a block 74 on a spring-pressed bar 73, and a pin 80 engages the needle block 68 to take the needles into the path of the threading-device as in the arrangement shown in Fig. 1. Catches 82, 84 which are provided to hold the bar 73 and block 68 respectively, are tripped by the handle 6 on its return stroke.

Abstract: 13,014. Craggs, R. V. June 3. Packeting cigarettes in receptacles.-Relates to machinery for packing cigarettes &c., and consists in apparatus for retaining the gummed flaps of completed packets in position until dry. The packets are pushed out of tEe recesses 3 in a mould-wheel 2 of the packing- machine to arrive over a vertical plunger 50 forming a movable bottom to a vertical guideway. One side 55, Fig. 2, is held in position by springs 56, and is periodically pressed outwards by cams 57 and links 59 while the plunger 50 feeds the packets up the guideway. The uppermost packets are removed from the guideway by a tappet 61. In the form shown in Fig. 1, two adjacent sides 55 are movable. In order to permit the removal of the movable sides 55 without interfering with the adjustment of the springs 56, the pins 66, Fig. 7, may be mounted in rotatable brackets 67 on the fixed sides and carry on their outer ends latches 68 adapted to bear on extensions 69 of the movable sides.

Abstract: 28,848. Dewrance, J. Dec. 14. Stuffing-boxes, substitutes for.-Relates to worm apparatus of the type described in Specification 7682/12, [Class 110 (i), Centrifugal and screw fans &c.], applicable for pumping viscous fluids and for packing shafts. Within a chamber c is mounted a solid or tubular core a having helical grooves b adapted to receive a leather packing-strip d.
